Secotioid and gasteroid forms occur in four independent clades nested within agaricoid forms. One clade corresponds to the secotioid T. pulchella, from Southern Europe and North Africa. The others correspond to Torrendia and Amarrendia species from Australia. Mediterranean-type climatic conditions are postulated as a force driving the convergent evolution of these secotioid and at least one of the gasteroid forms in geographically distant areas. Species formerly placed in Torrendia and Amarrendia are transfered to Amanita. A new species of Torrendia from Australia was discovered during the revision of the collections originally identified as T. arenaria, and is here described as Amanita pseudoinculta.
